I love the color of your skin
the only color that my heart can see
Is the one that we both share

No matter if you're purple and I'm green
No matter how much it seems that we differ
We are both one color

It's the color of love
It's the color of love
Which makes us all the same

It's who we are
Not what we are
that draws the line of definition

It's the color of our character
It's the color of our character
Which tells us who is different
And who is the same

It's the way that we decide to live side by side
and show a gesture of love to our brethren
or get away and annihilate the other side with signs of hatred
Which confuses us about our true colors
the ones we show when we radiate with love and kindness

It's the color of smiles
It's the color of smiles
that makes us forget differences and complexities
and brings us together just to have a good time

It's the color of peace
that we should try to portray
because in the real world
there is no black or white
there is only true colors, the ones we show
the one we share
